Dave and Karen Eubanks (Free Burma Rangers) serve the Lord with a ministry to the multi-ethnic minorities in the mountains of Burma (The country of Myanmar). The peoples that receive their ministry are of the most persecuted in the world, have under gone civil war since 1949 and contain many Christians. The tyrannical government regime burns out the villages and murders these ethnic Burmese. Dave and Karen provide help by entering the areas under attack giving emergency medical care, shelter, food, clothing and love.

This morning as I listened to Dave and Karen and their girls, I was impressed by two statement concerning prayer.

1. “We live by prayer.”

2. (Paraphrased) the people to whom we give ministry, when they pray, do not pray to live. When they pray their prayer is, “Jesus, what do you want me to do today?” Dave remarked that his prayer direction is the same.

I find these two views of prayer awesome. They are profound and I will give them a great deal of thought.

(Matthew 6:9-13 WNT) "In this manner therefore pray: 'Our Father who art in Heaven, may Thy name be kept holy; let Thy kingdom come; let Thy will be done, as in Heaven so on earth; give us to-day our bread for the day; and forgive us our shortcomings, as we also have forgiven those who have failed in their duty towards us; and bring us not into temptation, but rescue us from the Evil one.'

About Us

Arizona Christian Worldview Institute (ACWI) is a discipleship and training ministry whose primary means of ministry is through the media, mainly radio & publishing. We also serve the body of Christ through workshops and conferences.

This blog, Let the Conversation Continue, is an extension of our media ministry. It's a place for people to interact about the topics we post here. You probably noticed that our header image includes a coffee cup—not just because some of us are hard-core coffee lovers, but because it represents the contemporary coffee shop culture, focused on community and conversation. So grab a cup, sit awhile, and join the conversation!=========== =========== ============Over a century ago, Abraham Kuyper declared, "In the total expanse of human life there is not a single square inch of which the Christ, who alone is sovereign, does not declare, That is mine!"

Saturday mornings at 11:00 AM, we broadcast Every Square Inch - The Arizona Christian Worldview Hour, where we discuss what it means to live all of our lives - every square inch - before the face of God. We help listeners discover a biblical worldview and integrate that view into every square inch of their lives. You can listen at KPXQ 1360 AM - or online at kpxq1360.net. We also podcast Every Square Inch at podcast.acwi-online.org

Our most recent expansion is our publishing ministry, ACW Publications. We publish only a handful of carefully-selected titles, usually just one or two a year. The titles we produce are selected because they match ACWI’s mission: to enable adult believers to discover and embrace a biblical worldview and integrate that view into every area of life.

We have attempted to bring worldview thinking down from the ivory tower and make it practical, asking the question, "What does it mean to live with a well-developed Biblical worldview in every area of life, and in every area of society?"
